1Password is [adding tools to generate and store SSH keys](https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/?ref=birchtree.me), which is lovely, but [this thread on Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30359430&ref=birchtree.me) expressed concern with how it was implemented. In response, someone from the 1Password team had their devs implement a fix quickly.

> We spoke about it internally many times in the past but couldn't get the solution implemented because there was always something in the way. After reading your comments and I talked to the team and we just merged a change that should appear in the nightly build and make the handling of the multi-line fields better. Having a single core in 1Password 8 makes things so much easier when it comes to implementing changes across all platforms.

*Insert witty remark about the benefits of unified code bases across platforms.*
